*Note To Self: Think Of Hilarious, Poignant Title About “Reawakening”

I have returned! Yes, I have awoken from a long, dormant slumber, like… like… shoot. Surely there must be some analogy appropriate to the moment for emerging with new life after a season of cold silence… hm. I’ve returned like a thing that wakes up as symbolism for rejuvenation. A bear? Muhammed Ali in the “rope-a-dope” fight? Man, I’m really rusty

Anyway, some while back I posted that I was in a year of change and huge new commitments. I’m still in one piece – technically – and closing in on finding some equilibrium. I hope. Well, the year was what I said, but I also said I really hoped to post periodically as well. That turned out to be (and I don’t want to lose you with jargon and complex concepts) “totally kidding myself.” Instead I chose the route where I see that I have new views or comments, or think of an idea, and mutter “I should put that on my blog…” and then stare in to the middle distance for a moment, breathing through my mouth, before shaking my head and getting back to work.

There are some good stories to tell, and I’ll post some of the more interesting (and less “complainy”), and hopefully get back to posting on a regular basis here on this site, which I’ve had such fun with for so long. Hopefully you’ll come with (or return to…) me!

In the interim, here’s the best thing that’s been keeping me so busy.

Welcome back! I’m in a similar boat – once I felt ready to start posting again, I have ideas but just can’t seem to get myself to actually write. Hopefully you can! In the meantime, chubby cheek pictures are anyways entertaining.

Welcome back Mr B. Looking forward to hearing more about your year in blogging exile / tax exile / prison / unable to pay for internet access / had better things to do / whatever it was…(delete as appropriate)

He better be – he’s got an older sister who’s quite the crowd-pleaser. He’s going to get a lot of practice at charming people just to try and keep up. Basically, I’m expecting to be invisible for the next 18 years.

Thanks! There are still a few familiar faces, but many have stopped blogging. I’m back in Wisconsin this week helping my parents, so my reading and writing is almost non-existent, in fact, I just got on my computer and I heard my mom call out something about towels. GAH!

Hiya B-Man! There is an interesting phenomenon occurring in my blogging world. Bloggers who I thought were long gone are coming back by the droves. It’s both wonderful and strange. The timing, I mean…not you. Well, maybe you. I don’t know. Maybe I need to disappear for a while now. Coming back seems all the rage, but how does one come back if one never leaves? 😉

I could. I bet I could fool a lot of readers. As for other blogger-come-backers, they probably aren’t on your radar, but there are two besides Jules who I followed regularly who just came back after being AWOL. Maybe I overstated my case.

You stopped blogging the day I followed you. Naturally, I took it personally. Now, I see that it is possible your universe did not relocate away from me, but away from all your other followers. It is they, rather than I, who should feel offended that you chose a mere babe and the shallow appeal of his chubby cheeks and Roy Rogers eyes over their many stimulating contributions to your site, and their fawning adulation of you.

Looks like a great reason to be out for awhile. 🙂 Precious! And looking forward to laughing with you in future. (I, too, have been on a bit of blog-hiatus. Working on a novel and trying to sell a house myself … tasks that loom too large for the mere blog.)

Hm… well, if you go with “too young” you can be surly and dismissive and mutter, “Who’s this dinosaur? What, is he going to make ‘take my wife, please’ jokes?” and that’s always fun. So I’d go with that one.
